Hinderton Arms

Located conveniently on the A540, just a 20-minute drive from the city of Chester, The Hinderton Arms in Neston is steeped in history. Neston, once a bustling port and later a coal mining hub before transforming into a peaceful residential town, now serves as a charming suburb to Liverpool and Chester. The pub, situated on the former site of a courthouse where criminals met their fate, has shed its grim past to become a welcoming establishment. Adorned with vibrant floral arrangements in its dog-friendly beer garden, the pub’s historic façade attracts many passers-by.

Accommodating up to 125 guests indoors and an additional 60 outside in fair weather, The Hinderton Arms has a rich heritage dating back over 190 years, as documented in an 1826 Turnpike Act. Originally known as the Shrewsbury Arms, possibly named after the Earl of Shrewsbury, it later adopted its current name inspired by the nearby Hinderton Hall Estate. Despite being a favourite haunt for locals enjoying a post-work drink or meal, the pub also draws day-trippers and visitors from afar eager to explore this history-laden and garden-filled region.
